That makes Brighton defence more attractive again so
Might stick one of them in so

I might even go back to Ryan (button ) ! Stick in a Villa defender at 4.5

100%, I'll be WCing during the Int Break so contemplating putting him in for Norwich then benching.

Begovic or Boruc who is likely to start ?

Go for some other team's keeper. There's so many options available to Howe; Bego, Boruc, Travers, Ramsdale and they aren't exactly known for their ability to keep many clean sheets. Henderson, Heaton, Pope, Gunn and Ryan all better options.

Genuinely think that the 3 together are overpriced @ 24.5m & who is your captain pick there?

You could go Premium Attacker and spend the 13.5m instead on a 6m & 6.5m attacker which I think would be more profitable

Wouldn’t be picking with captaincy in mind. Salah and Sterling would cover that. I just genuinely think all 3 will score well

The end of the Martin Kelly dream? Gary Cahill close to signing for Palace.

Lukaku training with Anderlect while he waits for his move, so Greenwood back in the picture

Neither. Ramsdale & Travers have split minutes in preseason.

I know this because I checked as I have no attacking players playing Bournemouth in the first two games & I’ll possibly WC week 3 after internationals.

I’m currently on Travers as he has PL experience

Think the important thing is to pick players not playing your attacking options in first few weeks

Who is going to be quicker looking for a transfer is the question.

Shedite27 · 05-08-2019 4:10pm

Thos on Coleman may need to rethink. Everton are about to sign Sidibe from Monaco. Excellet RB, was in the French squad that won the world cup last summer.

Adrian signed for Liverpool today too, as a WH fan, if Allison happens to get injured, I'll be abandoning all Liverpool defenders. He's atrocious, Liverpool are a Allison injury away from Europa league

Liverpool look very shaky at the back again. I think it's a big risk doubling up on their defense to start the season

They conceded one goal to a front five of Dilva, Bilva, De Bruyne, Sane and Sterling and you are saying they look dodgy?

Anyone have a pair of 4.5 defenders with a rotation they like the look of? I'd be happy with even a first 5/6 games

Currently on Cathcart and Dunk. Brings you up GW6 with Newcastle away the worst fixture you'll have if you start at least one of them each week. GW3 you could possibly start both.

Both have a decent goal threat and are nailed, good enough for me

Villa & Watford rotate well.

So Target & Kiko Femina would be good options.

I think that's quite harsh on Adrian. Prone to the odd mistake, but no more than Mignolet.

On Coleman, we should be safe for the first few gameweeks at least. Ended the season very well, captain and a fans favourite. Long term, possibly a concern yes.

Did you watch the game? Off the top of my head I can think of big chances for Sterling and Sane, yes they improved after half time but they were lucky to still be in the game then.

They also shipped 3 goals to Napoli last week with a back 4 of Robertson, VVD, Matip and TAA. Not exactly weak. Also this summer includes 3 goals shipped against Dortmund, 2 against Sevilla and 2 against Sporting.

Yes its only pre season, but I don't think its a stretch to say doubling and tripling up on defensive form like that is a risk.

I’m half thinking of going with a Vardy Wilson Jimenez frontline. Anyone else the same? I definitely feel they’re the 3 best outside of Auba Kane and Aguero

I'm going with Vardy, Wilson and Deeney. Think Deeney is going under the radar. Avoiding Jiminez for now due to fitness concerns and Europa League but will be monitoring both him and Jota.

Chancer3001 · 05-08-2019 5:43pm

Mosie kean at 7.0 is definitely goung into my team. But not for a couple weeks he'll need time to get up to speed

nullObjects · 05-08-2019 7:57pm

Wonder if the Friday deadline will catch people in GW1

Surely it'll he Rashford up top? I remember OGS saying that he is going to be a great one.

I'm not one for doubling up myself but I wouldn't be concerned and the only game you have to go in is yesterday's game because preseason doesn't matter a jot outside of individual performances.
Yesterday they played the best team in the league who have scored over 200 goals in the last two seasons.

km79 · 05-08-2019 8:25pm

Gary Cahill has signed for palace
Need lundstrum to hold his spot now !

Cantona's Collars · 05-08-2019 8:39pm

Any love for Zaha? He's a penalty winning magnet. Maybe VAR will either work in his favour or could put a stop to a lot of pens won by him.
Zouma at Chelsea is another punt I have but might downgrade him to a 4.5 player in order to swap Joelinton to Deeney. Happy enough with everyone else in my draft.

Not at palace any way late back from the afcon and could throw his toys out of the pram as he has stated he wants out

How Soon Is Now · 05-08-2019 10:41pm

Dunno what to do about my defense. I feel like all the decent point scoring defenders are very high priced this year. I already have Laporte VVD and Digne in there which means ive had to spend less up front.

I really wanted either auba or Kane but cant because i have Salah and Sterling and i feel i cant drop either.

I have Wilson Jota and Greenwood up front so ya i dunno how i feel about it. Vardy would of been nice. I am gonna keep an eye on Kean as well.

The real mccoy 91 · 05-08-2019 10:45pm

Missed yesterdays game can anyone give me a report on kdb I was nearly set to go without but I'm starting to have second thoughts is he playing too deep to take a chance on?

VW 1 · 05-08-2019 10:46pm

Will Vardy be seeing as much time up front with Perez? I've got Perez in my squad, and am considering taking Vardy out and shifting one or two around to upgrade him to Auba.

Yes. Vardy is nailed(and on pens)

Chancer3001 · 05-08-2019 10:51pm

i see perez playing with him

sanket · 06-08-2019 4:42am

With Joao Cancelo move likely it seems zinchenko will not be a guaranteed starter anymore ..he play the first GW1 but then its peps roulette all over again.

Thinking of Upgrading Zinc to Walker and Digne to AwB/maguire.

What are your strategies??

Pete_Cavan · 06-08-2019 6:34am

Vardy will be nailed on starter but given their manager and other attacking players in the team, I would expect Leicester goals to be spread around a good bit this season. While he will score, I don't think Vardy will be banging them in every week and is over priced imo. Perez is much better value, gets an extra point per goal plus the potential for cs points.

Cancelo is a RB (who can play on the left) so I would have thought Walker would now be a risky pick. I remember Pep being very unhappy with some of Walkers performances last season and pretty sure he was dropped for a few games at one stage.

I thought Kelly was a full back. Maybe I'm wrong?

He can play both. He'll always be there to cover injuries should they happen.

Imo he won’t and I’m a Man Utd fan.A lot will depend on whether Utd sell Lukaku before deadline closes (v doubtful) and If they sign Eriksen as has been muted.
I think he isn’t a great pick as even if he is on Utds bench regularly for League games he will only get 15 min cameos.
Of course I could be totally wrong!:)
